I made a userscript that adds a table bbcode (which uses a text table by default if the viewer doesn't have it). It's still buggy, and there's a some things I need to fix, but I'll definitely post it in a few days.

(other options can be specified in the options block, but header is the only one that does anything right now. Maybe I'll expand it in the future.)

Again, if something doesn't work right, please let me know so I can try to fix it. This has only been tested in the latest version of Chrome, so I especially don't guarantee it will work in other browsers, though there isn't anything I would expect to prevent compatibility.

{parameters} is a url-encoded json object containing the property 'widths', which is a list of numbers representing the number of characters wide each corresponding column is. It may also contain other parameters, such as 'header', but 'widths' is required.

{table data} is a text-based table where columns are separated by two spaces. If 'header' is true (the default), there should be a blank line between the first and second rows. Otherwise there should be no blank lines

As for actual usefulness, I think would be impractical to implement specific attributes individually (border colour, background, etc), due to the massive set of reasonable values each one may have, but higher-level parameters would probably be quite nice. game=foo or table-type=die-rolls.

Hey! I've been running a tabletop RPG for a little over a year and writing up the game sessions in a story format. It's modern Call of Cthulhu with an illegal government cell-style conspiracy of agents from various government agencies and military branches.

Check out my thread here in the Gaming section, and feel free to comment or ask questions. I even put a handy Table of Contents in the first post so you can jump quickly to a particular Operation.

If you like Call of Cthulhu and modern government conspiracy, check out my Delta Green thread.Please feel free to ask questions or leave comments.

I've made a real life card game called Apocalypse Frenzy that I want to publish soon. I'm still looking for people to test it and give me feedback about the rules and such. It is a light strategy humorous science-fiction game for 3 players that takes about an hour to play and 5-10 minutes to learn. PM me your e-mail address if you'd like to receive the print&play files to read the rules and possibly print the game yourself.

I was going to post this in the Fresh Eggs thread, but I realized that hardly anyone would see it. I wrote a userscript that adds a date selector to the top of threads that can be used to highlight posts edited more recently than the selected date (which is most useful in the Fresh Eggs thread). Link.

I also wrote a userscript for easily finding the time that passed between a post and the previous post. Link.
